Here are some of the guidelines in creating the Modern quilt:

Use asymmetry in quilt design
Rely less on repetition and on the interaction of quilt block motifs

Make primarily functional rather than decorative quilts
Contain reinterpreted traditional blocks-
Embrace simplicity and minimalism-
Often use gray and white as neutrals
Reflect an increased use of solid fabrics
Focus on finishing quilts on home sewing machines
Contain bold colors, on trend color combinations and graphic prints
Are inspired by modern art and architecture-
Incorporate increased use of negative space-
Frequently use improvisational piecing-
Utilize alternative block structures or lack of visible block structure


Looks closely can you pick out the different elements I used to make the qulit
